Set Adrift on Memory Bliss Lyrics

Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you The camera pans to a cocktail glass Behind a blind of plastic plants I found the lady with the fat diamond ring Then you know I can't remember a damn thing I think its one of those déjà vu things Or a dream that's trying to tell me something Or will I ever stop thinking about it I don't know, I doubt it Subterranean by design I wonder what I would find if I met you Let my eyes caress you Until I meet the thought of Misses Princess who? Often wonder what makes her work I guess I'll leave that question to the experts Assuming that there are some out there They're probably alone, solitaire I can remember when I caught up With a past-time intimate friend, she said "Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely But you probably don't think nothin' of me." She was right, though, I can't lie She's just one of those corners in my mind And I just put her right back with the rest That's the way it goes, I guess Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Careless whisper from a careless man A neutron dance for a neutron fan Marionette strings are dangerous things I thought of all the trouble they bring An eye for an eye, a spy for spy Rubber bands expand in a frustrating sigh Tell me that she's not dreaming She's got an ace in the hole, it doesn't have meaning Reality used to be a friend of mine Caused complete control, I don't take too kind Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on Guess whose piece of the cake is Jack gone She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign I told her whispers in my heart were fine What did she think she could do I feel for her, I really do And I stared at the ring finger on her hand I wanted her to be a big P.M. Dawn fan But I had to put her right back with the rest That's the way it goes, I guess Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Baby you send me Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Meaning of Set Adrift on Memory Bliss

“Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” explores the disorienting and melancholic experience of being consumed by a past love, particularly through the haze of nostalgia and fragmented recollections. P.M. Dawn paints a picture of someone lost in a dreamlike state, triggered by a woman’s memory – “Baby you send me” – leading to a cascade of hazy images and half-remembered encounters like a glamorous stranger with a diamond ring and an enigmatic “Princess who?”. The song delves into the frustrating nature of déjà vu and forgotten moments, symbolized by marionette strings representing manipulation and lost control. Ultimately, it’s about grappling with unresolved feelings and the way memories can both haunt and captivate, suggesting a lonely, contemplative state where the speaker is adrift in a sea of past affections, unable to fully grasp or escape their influence.
